[sohaibsyed]

[sohaibsyed]

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Akmal edges one thru the slips for four...

 

[sohaibsyed]

Four!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Now both batsmen are into their 80's

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

[sohaibsyed]

MashAllah good stuff...lets keep it up boys

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Akmal plays and misses... he better be more careful here!!

 

[sohaibsyed]

285/5 80 overs. thanks God akmal survives.

 

[Daoud]

283/5 now. 133 behind bow. Still a long way to go but thats exactly how much these two have put on.

Jinxing moment - our best sessions in the test series have coincided with when I've been at home and following the game. Sadly I'll be going out in 20 mins or so...

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

misbah almost found a new way to get out...collide with your partner middle of the pitch

 

[sohaibsyed]

Thats why Im hesitant to join in here - last time I did that we lost 4 wkts for 1 run....

 

[Hash]

the worst sessions for Pakistan in this series have all been when my Dad is watching.

He has gone out now.

 

[Lightning]

Then you better leave Oxy!

 

[sohaibsyed]

lol

 

[sohaibsyed]

only 130 to avoid followon

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to get through the last session without lossing a wicket here!

 

[Hash]

This is going to be a tough little period with the new ball.

Misbah and Kamran need to be careful

 

[Daoud]

Pakistan need to get through the last session without lossing a wicket here!

If we do that, then the follow on will be avoided (unless we lose the remaining wickets for like 5 runs tomorrow)

 

[sohaibsyed]

oh man this is getting nervy

 

[sohaibsyed]

lets hope inshallah they get through

 

[shahidrazzaq]

we need to just make another 100 runs in the last like 20....if possible

 

[Amjid Javed]

Big hundreds from both players needed here, even doubles!

 

[shahidrazzaq]

oh man this is getting nervy

You're right.

 

[Hash]

I am starting to get nervous now which is a good sign because I am normally nervous when we are doing well

 

[shahidrazzaq]

lets hope inshallah they get through

yeah.......WOOT! Pak aiming for a draw.

 

[Hash]

choka by kamran

 

[sohaibsyed]

Four

 

[Oxy]

Rameez wants match referee to take action because Misbah is wearing black socks.

Bruce Yardley stays quiet!!!

Rameez needs to be taught a lesson or 2

 

[shahidrazzaq]

Big hundreds from both players needed here, even doubles!

double by akmal, 150 by misbah....50 by tanvir, 20 by sami, 10 from akthar, 0-5 from kaneria lolz....that would be SO HELPFUL INSHALLAH! AND INSHALLAH TWO DOUBLE TONS WILL MAKE OUR TEAM EXPERIENCED TO HAVE PLAYERS LIKE MISBAH AND AKMAL TO SAVE US AT THE END! REMEMBER 36/6 - 245 all out.....444444444444444444 by akmal btw

I suggest Rameez is striped to his Y fronts or boxers to see if his bundies comply with ICC regulation 47.3 (i), (iii) and (vi)

 

[sohaibsyed]

ramiz is being way to indian

 

[sohaibsyed]

hahah i have cricbuzz open while watching

84.4 Zaheer to Akmal, no run, good length delivery angling into the right hander, Akmal comes on the frontfoot and looks to defend, inside edge onto the pads, HUGE APPEAL!!, that was perhaps the most over-optimistic appeal of 2007

 

[Hash]

Kamran dropped by Munaf

 

[sohaibsyed]

yes alhamdulillah

Oxy bhai, did you catch his lame "extinct species" joke yesterday?

 

[Oxy]

Oxy bhai, did you catch his lame "extinct species" joke yesterday?

I wasnt watching yesterday....

 

[sohaibsyed]

i like how misbah is keeping akmal in check

 

[the_game]

I wasnt watching yesterday....

Arun Lal talked about some extinct bird species. Rameez, pointing to his tie, "yes, this tie is also an extinct species; they don't come this cheap anymore" .

 

[Oxy]

Arun Lal talked about some extinct bird species. Rameez, pointing to his tie, "yes, this tie is also an extinct species; they don't come this cheap anymore" .

I would have removed my tie and tightly tied my tie around Rameez's throat....emphasis on tightly

 

[sohaibsyed]

150 partnership.

 

[sohaibsyed]

beautiful batting guys mashAllah

 

[Oxy]

Great shot by Kami - another 4

Moves to 92*

 

[Hash]

beautiful shot by Kamran

 

[sohaibsyed]

akmal on 92 now mashAllah

 

[the_game]

I would have removed my tie and tightly tied my tie around Rameez's throat....emphasis on tightly

 

[Rickz]

This partnership frustrating India.......come on, one more wicket.

 

[sohaibsyed]

MashAllah playing well these guys. Keep it going InshAllah

 

[Oxy]

Beauty shot for 4 through the covers!

Kami moves to 96*

 

[sohaibsyed]

four for Akmal MashAllah! 96 now

 

[Oxy]

309-5

Drinks

Mizbi - 88* / Kami 97*

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is precisely why we cannot let go of Kamran the batsman. He should seriously start thinking about leaving wicket-keeping altogether and become a specialist batsman

 

[sohaibsyed]

97 MashAllah. drinks

 

[xbox]

Ramiz idiot keep talking about Akmal's black socks and pointed Madhugalle...lol now Akmal has to change it...this idiot has nothing else to do

 

[Hash]

309 for 5 and it's drinks.

Misbah not out 88
Kamran not out 97

Partnership worth 158 runs. 109 more runs required to avoid the follow on.

One hour or so left in the days play. If these two bat it out it would be sensational.

 

[the_game]

Akmal is the king of crisis against India. Well done.

 

[sohaibsyed]

i swear if ramiz never even pointed it out it wouldnt have been an issue

 

[Hash]

what is this obsession Ramiz has with socks? He can't stop talking about socks.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rameez has gone totally wacko on this trip. Never seen him utter such rubbish/garbage so consistently ever before

 

[xbox]

i swear if ramiz never even pointed it out it wouldnt have been an issue

You are right. Match refree can hear the same commentry this shows how important some time it is what these morons (people like ramiz) talk while on air. Madhuhagalle didn't even care until this moron pointed out

 

[Oxy]

what is this obsession Ramiz has with socks? He can't stop talking about socks.

He wants Match ref to get involved!

 

[Oxy]

Kamran Akmal reaches another test hundred.

Great knock.

101*

 

[sohaibsyed]

yes 100!!!! MASHALLAH WELL PLAYED AKMAL

 

[SUPERSAMI]

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

subhan Allah....what a knock...All thanks to God

 

[muthoo]

What an innings.

 

[Hash]

only about 45 minutes left until close


come on boys...........please

 

[Romali_rotti]

Well played Akmal , now carry on the good work try not to live of this 100 for the next 10 matches... Interesting game we have on our cards now, if Pakistan can get within 100 runs of India, IT IS GAME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN....

 

[aws]

Well done Kamran Akmal.... I think he sould be added as a batsmen and take the role of reserve keeper...

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Wow what a knock this has been from Akmal!!! Now it's Misbah's turn

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

another 35-40 minutes of play left
